LLY-BACON-SHAEE

Mr. Ignatius Donnelly is amusing himself
and preparing amusement for others by writ
ing book intended to show that Bacon wrote
Shakcspeare's plays and that he imbedded a
record of his authorship in the play of Henry
the Fourth, through the medium of a cipher.
When it is considered that the construction
of all language is such as torender possible the
evolution of any imaginable kind Of cipher
from any book extant almost, the gravity and
importance of Mr. Donnellys discovery may
be fairly appreciated. Any ingenious person
could certainly 60 to work upon = Robinson
Crusoe' or Gulliver's Travels" and deduce
from their pages abundance of evidence. in
cipher FORM to the effect that neither DefOe
nor Swift had anything to do with the author
ship. There is, in short practically unlimited
play for fantasy in such field, and nobody
need be surprised if MIR. Donnellys " finds
support his theory, inasmuch as the theory in
this case is the father Of the alleged cipher.
What really is curious about the matter is
the apparent seriousness with which this mis-
guided gentleman attempts 10 establish par
alels between the Shakespeare of the Plays
and the Bacon of the Works Perhaps dis
cussion of this is idle, since where there is so
evident an absence Of critical perception cor
rcction would be hopeless. None the less is
the position of Mr.. DCnnclly perilously near
the comical
AS matter Of fact, no two styles are less
alike than those of Bacon and Shakespeare
The man who gravcly asserts in face of his
writings, that Bacon possessed the poetic tenn
permanent deserves to be accorded the same
foil ha of a
dcaf-mute on lassical music. Bacon was over
weighted by his learning, and wrote with
pedantc artilciality and stiffness Nothing
is more characteristic of Shakespeare than the
majestic naturalness and simple case with
which he carries the broadcst discussion OF
the decUcst sub jcrt,. The two writer's afford
strong contrasts not striking parallchsms, ana
nothing to the contrary can be proved by ex-
ccrptng words, phrases, lines or passages.
and uniting them into hOcus-pocus sem
blancc of likeness. The Baconians have never
had ANYTHING more solid TO go upon than
congenitl incapacity for criticism, comparls' n.
analysis and judgment. Their arguments have
all been sophistcal and diaphanous to the
verge and limit Of absurdity. and the latest
development Of their harmless mania Is fan
tastic and himsy even beyond the common
won't. The world, which knows hawk from
n hcrnshaw when the wind is in the proper
quarter will not take any stock in the new
Baconian nonsense. Nevertheless it is almost
melancholy TO think Of the quantity OF clean
white paper that will be soilcd and spoled,
not only in the printing of Mr. Donnclly
book. but in the preparation OF the replies TO
mud rcfutotions Of il which arc certain to crop
out as thickly as mushrooms after shower.

We are glad to see that the New Haven
Railroad is doing away TO considerable ex-
tent with crossings at grade. Work in this
direction is going forward in various places,
and in short time there will be 10 such
crossings left in this State on that line Sew
eral bad accidents have lately occurred on this
and other roads in Connecticut and the re-
moval of this source of danger ought not TO
be confined to one State or one railway COM
pany. In all regions where there is much
travel on the highways grade crossings can
only exist with imminent peril to human life.
There is the best of authority for setting a

been used to carry party of Nevins's friends
on a picnic to Rockaway, leaving the water
front unprotected. This sort of unketing is
charac teristic of the Democratic Iaty when
ever it gets into power Will the people OF

The public outside OF Georgia are getting in

right on with the old business at the oil stand.
An Augusta paper declares that the removal has
had no effect whatever with the work Of the con-

mothers visit TO her son at the Augusta camp.
She did not find him. He had disappeared and
was thought to have ESCAPED. The convicts said
he was in "very bad health" and unable to do
hard work. lie was "vcry thin and could not

RAVENswOOD, December %. The
foundation Of the school building has
been progressing well. 1t is believed that
this school house will be one ofthe finest

able cost when complete will be near
81 600. Architect Wells OF your city

wonder why it is not talked as much now

plain and give us some news about tins
projected road Would like to know il
there are as strong assurances this winter
as there were last. There is an impression
among some Of the people that the people
here do not want this road, but they are
badly mistaken. A majority Of our people
want this enterprise and are anxious for II.
This is the best point on the .. K. K. for
business, and also the best and most prac-
teal point TO build feeder for said road.
Spencer, the county seat OF Roane county
is rebuilding rapidly, and the new Asylum
location which makes it much better for
railroad. A railroad will pay as well from
this point To Spencer, as the road pays from
Clarksburg to Weston. What better in

enterprise would hardly pay, hut great

thing like what has been printed, properly
